Answer 1

The phone and your machine are different os's so localhost wont work (that would point to the phone). You need to make sure you machine is making the web api publically available on your network and then call it with your pcs ip that the api is available on.

Answer 2

Btw, if you want to get Ip adress from device, u can get through this code. Just run it and go step by step debug, and you will find IP.

        var hostnames = Windows.Networking.Connectivity.NetworkInformation.GetHostNames();
        foreach (var hn in hostnames)
        {
            if (hn.IPInformation != null)
            {
                string ipAddress = hn.DisplayName;
            }
        }
